Film Call for Inland Empire Theories

Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Thu, Jan 18 at 1:30 PM

Tonight’s your last night to check out David Lynch’s Inland Empire at Cinema 21. The Hollywood Theatre will pick it up next week (Fri Jan 19-Thurs Jan 25). Has anyone seen it yet? I’d love to hear people’s thoughts about it. I was loathe to chat with the film critics I saw it with at the press screening, mostly because several of them were shouting at the screen before the film even started. When the name of the production company came on the screen, a mere one minute into the screening, someone yelled out, “I don’t get it.” Yeah, you’re a laugh riot. About a half hour before it ended, someone else yelled out, “Is it over yet?” Nothing like objectivity.

Here’s a French version of the trailer that has more footage of William H. Macy and Jeremy Irons.

Awesome.

It's playing at Hollywood Theatre for at least the next week.

Oh, whoops, I guess your updated post already mentions that.

Yeah, I just noticed that. I'm so glad that it's still playing.

That looks classically Lynchian. Glad to hear it'll be at Hollywood next week, because the ice prevented me from getting to Cinema 21 this week.

Did I see Laura Palmer's mother in that trailer?

Yeah, Grace Zabriskie (Mrs. Palmer) plays a total nutjob/classic Lynchian walk-in.

I've been following INLAND EMPIRE since it's NYFF premiere--I think it's the best film of 2006--and have been collecting theories and reviews here. Careful: INLAND EMPIRE is habit-forming.

Eeee! You just made my day.
